Host of the Oscars 2019: Why is there no host and what happened to Kevin Hart?

The 91st Academy Awards will be broadcast on February 24 and most ceremonies will be held in accordance with tradition.

It will take place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, where he has lived for over ten years. The nominations honor the best of the cinema and we can expect to see a very glamorous red carpet as the stars give their all for the biggest black tie event of the showbiz calendar.

But this year, there is a major change because it will be the first time in thirty years that the awards ceremony will be held without a host.

Where is Kevin Hart?

Kevin Hart was confirmed as the official host of the 2019 Oscars in December 2018. However, two days after the announcement, some tweets of his return to the surface. In 2009 and 2010, he tweeted homophobic messages. The comedian initially refused to apologize and so left his presenter position.

He revealed that the Academy had given him an ultimatum: to apologize or leave his host position. He refused to apologize and published an explanation on Instagram. He said: "I apologized.The reason for my adoption is because I have already mentioned it several times.This is not the first time this has happened. I've talked about it.I already talked about that.â € I said where were the rights and wrongs.I told who I am now compared to who I was.â € so, I did it, I did it. "

He then apologized to the LGBT community for his past views on Twitter and said: "I have made the choice to withdraw from this year's Oscars … that's because I do not want not be a distraction at an evening that should be celebrated by so many incredible talented artists.

"I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for the insane comments of my past."

In early February 2019, the Academy announced that it would abandon a facilitator stating that the show would only have presenters.

How is it going to work?

The ceremony will rely heavily on presenters to keep the show moving and this year's programming is quite impressive with Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Lopez, Daniel Craig, Brie Larson, Charlize Theron, Awkwafina, Constance Wu, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Chris Evans, Maya Rudolph, Amanda Stenberg and Tessa Thompson all signed up for the night.

We can also expect Helen Mirren, Michael B. Jordan, Pharrell Williams, Danai Gurira, Paul Rudd, Michelle Yeoh and Michael Keaton to appear.
